Advantages of the Femto-LASIK and traditional LASIK
Method of Choice
LASIK can be used to correct 90 % of all refractive errors. This procedure
is recommended for the treatment of nearsightedness up to -10 diopter,
farsightedness up to +3 diopter and astigmatism up to 3 diopter.
Innovative, Technically Precise Procedure
LASIK is an innovative, technically mature surgical procedure. The use
of computer-guided equipment, such as the microkeratome, femtosecond laser
and the excimer laser, guarantees predictably accurate results.
Fast and Painless Procedure
LASIK surgery is quick, usually painless and has no effect on your general
health. You begin the brief recovery at home directly after the surgery
is performed.
Fast Visual Recovery
A few hours after surgery, you will begin regain your vision. The rehabilitation
period is very short. Within 2 days, you should be able to continue your
daily routines and start to enjoy life without the need for corrective
lens.
Fast Wound Healing Without Complications
LASIK surgery utilizes the body's own healing process. In the first step
of LASIK surgery, a flap is created on the top surface of the cornea and
is turned over like the cover of a book. After completion of the procedure
on the underlying stromal bed of the cornea (second step), the flap is
positioned back onto the treated area and serves as the body's own protective
band-aid.
Femto-LASIK: Precision, Safety and
Superior Results
Complications arising from LASIK surgery, while relatively rare, are usually
associated with the oscillating blade on traditional hand-held microkeratomes.
Metal blades might create incomplete or uneven edges on the corneal flap,
resulting in an abnormal corneal surface and vision defects such as irregular
astigmatism. In contrast, the femtosecond laser produces a flap of precise
size, shape and depth. |
